Freaking Spectacular!

[@ieToastie]

Glad to hear Baalor's take on win rates, there's nothing that carries over between your runs and your ability to perform on your current one doesn't have anything to do with your previous runs.

[@erensametkaratas6593]

Except for that one event that doesn't seem to show up anymore which has my strike from one of my first runs

[@Subpar1224]

​@@erensametkaratas6593it doesn't show up if you are playing past ascension 15 or are playing on the ascension that is your highest level unlocked

[@YourName_2023]

​@@erensametkaratas6593its disabled on higher ascentions

[@raishrby]

​@@erensametkaratas6593that event only shows up if you're not playing on your highest available ascension so you can't use it to cheese progressing ascensions

[@ALEXBOWN]

​​@@erensametkaratas6593That even stops showing up after a certain ascension. I want to say 15?

[@samfonze1382]

I have thousands of hours in this game and never realised there was a turn count omg

[@Ponk6969]

Lol welcome to the club. I was a 1000 hours in when I found bad how bad sneko and pyramid were together 😔

[@Smalicious]

​@@Ponk6969I had a run where I had the same realization but then I somehow immediately after got orange pellets and won

[@frankw544]

Where’s the turn count?

[@Delboy178]

Baalor's opinion on win rates is so unironically based I loved hearing it. It literally has no impact on your current run and is just fluff score keeping. Goated

[@jacoblord2217]

I’ve been playing this game for two years and I never noticed the turn counter in the middle of the screen

[@NomadicInfluence]

🤯

[@itscatoclock]

Is it bad that I still can't see it?

[@SkilledTadpole]

​@@itscatoclockit pops up at the start of the turn

[@zebfross]

@@itscatoclockJust look at the beginning of the turn it flashes Enemy Turn or Player Turn 3rd turn

[@ShoRyuBarbie]

​@@itscatoclockTook me a while too, it goes by really fast. When it says "Player Turn," it also tells you the turn count underneath.

[@Xgya2000]

Important question here: Can N'Loth eat Spirit Poop? I've played a few thousand hours, but this has to be too rare, and seeing Baalor comment about him eating his own face got me curious.

[@ALEXBOWN]

Yes, also old coin and other relics.

[@SheyD78]

All the ninja relics and the money to buy them, of such things dreams are made of.

[@DS_4172]

Hey, just wanted you to know (from 23:20) there are several ways to combine two vods together! I believe lossless cut does it extremely easily and cleanly, and FFmpeg should be capable of doing it as well, without having to re-render the videos together.

[@ishanj2021]

Baalorlord has blessed us with another video.

[@fivetwoeighty7012]

13:23 how does he always just materialize cards like that 😂

[@N1ghthavvk]

Well, we'd only remember the times where he did get it right :D Also... and just theoretically: Since the seed is known, you could boot up the game on another computer / screen again, and go through the card rewards, always one step ahead. Wouldn't even take that much effort. You can sometimes hear him interact with chat, where watchers are already doing this in regards to relics, i.e. they are asking if he wants to get spoiled on whether or not he gets dead branch later in the run. Since he always turns those offers down, he probably doesn't spoil it for himself either (he'd be way better at not missing masteries too) and this is just a coincidence, based on how often he plays. He literally will be right sometimes, just due to pure chance.

[@art-cs6us]

Blade dance do be a common card.

ngl bro ur vids helped me learn this game keep spittin out more 🗣️🗣️🔥

[@alexhm1394]

Why does he retain the shiv at the slime boss fight instead of using it?

[@Astral_Armadillo]

In case he could use it to proc shuriken later on

[@Astral_Armadillo]

Shuriken and kunai *

[@hsapin]

He retained it so that he would have a higher chance of playing 3 attacks in subsequent turns.

[@luka188]

Because he had kunai, and if he keeps the shiv, he can use it next turn to try and get another kunai stack, rather than just waste it and get nothing.

[@alexhm1394]

[@SporkRevolution]

Love the vids sir. Ty.

[@aidikeii]

Is there a way you can give us the seed before starting the run so we can start at the same time as you n see the differences in play

[@tcr7]

Baalor, when you picked up the second Blade Dance+, you said, "Now we're cooking. Now we're cooking." I was really disappointed that you didn't say, "Now we're dancing."

[@rakafellamusic8217]

Grrrrrrand fina- . . . We don’t need that

[@ellogan6674]

Can anyone explain what this “card mastery” system does and where it’s from please?

[@jdblick1002]

Baalor is doing a self imposed mastery challenge inspired by Monster Train, which means he has to finish A20 Heart runs with 2 copies of a card (even curses) in his end game deck, spread over different runs over the year. The 'not mastered' is a mod he had commissioned that displays that the card has yet to be 'mastered'. This challenge also means that like every card in the game, he also has to beat the Heart with every relic too.

[@pocketmonsterhuntr]

You were just missing the Frozen Egg

[@brandonperry4275]

What is the logic of not taking eviscerate with the discarding you had plus the strength bonus where youd get to hit 3 times plus wouldnt it get buffed with it costing zero because of hidden blade or w/e. Just curious as to why because ik youre way better at this game than me i would have taken it instantly

[@rezuredragon]

From what I've seen, Baalor doesn't take "obvious" cards like that, especially late into the run because he usually already has other cards that do the same thing (sometimes better.) In this case, Eviscerate benefits from discard synergy but is only 1 attack to proc the ninja relics. Blade Dances are cheap, procs ninja relics, benefits from burst and doesn't require other cards to benefit from Hidden Blade.

[@Phhrozen]

02:51 Exactly, because regardless of your knowledge of the game and time in it, the game is still massively RNG and you can simply get garbage fights and garbage rewards and parish.

[@mrsmcgann8445]

Has normality been mastere? P.S. loved your montu python quote

[@GorchaxGaming]

doesnt winstreaks technically impact your chance to win your current run though? I was under the impression potion and rare cards % odds keep dropping when you go on streaks no?

[@PeregrineBF]

No, everything resets for each new game. The only things that carry over between runs are the various unlocks (unlocking the characters, cards, relics, and ascension levels) and achievements (which have no impact in-game). Since he's on Ascension 20 on all characters, and has been for years, each run is effectively independent of the last. Edit: There's an event that can carry a card over if you're at

[@GorchaxGaming]

@@PeregrineBF must have been a mod Jorbs was using during his last streak then. Because he kept complaining it was less and less rare card and potion chances, oossibly chance of upgraded cards too to show up in A2+

[@qb4428]

Winrate is a stupid thing to focus on. This is a single player game. It's literally not a contest. Just make the fun plays.

[@Snaps12345]

What if people have fun focusing on their winrate and try to win as hard as possible? Why is that stupid?

Side note, after starting to keep track of it, I’ve gotten N’loth’s face mask 12/16 times. I pretty much only pick the face option if I’m already ready to restart the run now
